After his previous success with a split-second wildlife shot showing a Eurasian hobby catching prey in mid-air, 16-year-old photographer Jack Crockford has now been recognized by another prestigious photography competition – this time for an extraordinary image of a swift flying almost perfectly aligned with an airplane.

The Art of Flying has now been highlighted by the world's leading wildlife photography competition, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, developed and produced by the Natural History Museum in London, England.
